Pressing Out U-Joing Bearing With Guide
Installed
With the pump, force the bearing into the yoke. As the
bearing nears the end of its required travel, it will cause the
spider to push the guide outward without damage to the seal
or shield. The bearing cup is properly positioned in the yoke
when the snap ring groove is exposed enough to install the
snap ring. When the bearing is correctly positioned in the
yoke, turn the assembly over, remove the guide J 9522-7 and
again place bearing over the bore in the yoke. Carefully slide
the spider partially out of the previously seated bearing and
start it carefully into the bearing being installed. This
prevents the bearing needles from burring the edge of the
spider journal if forced over journal other than straight. Even
